Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 224 19 March 1908 (During a walk) The Shia Exaggerations Result from their Failure to Reflect upon the Holy Quran The Promised Messiah as said: The Shias exaggerate without reason. In confrontations, the Kharijites are the ones who leave them confuted. The fact is that even if any dispute ever occurred among the Companions ra , it should not be a cause for concern. Disputes and disagreements always occur where people have deep relationships and this is not anything unusual. Allah the Exalted has given His verdict in all such matters by saying: 1 اَنْعَزَن اَم ْيِف ْمِهِرْوُدُص ْنِّم ٍّلِغ اًناَوْخِا ىٰلَع ٍرُرُس َنْيِلِبٰقَتُّم اَنْعَزَن اَم ْيِف ْمِهِرْوُدُص ْنِّم ٍّلِغ اًناَوْخِا ىٰلَع ٍرُرُس َنْيِلِبٰقَتُّم Thus, to argue in those matters where God has delivered a ver- dict is not indicative of possessing faith. If the Shias raise objec- tions against the Companions ra , the Kharijites raise objections against Hazrat Ali ra. Thus, it is reported that Hazrat Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, wanted to marry the daughter of Abu Jahl. However, when the Holy Prophet s as learned about 1. We shall remove whatever of rancour may be in their breasts so that they will become as brothers reclining on couches, facing one another ( S u rah al- H ijr, 15:48). [Publisher]
